Hróðr gerk of mǫg mæran

Gerk meirr fleira hróðr of {mæran mǫg Sigrøðar}; galtk hônum heið {haptsœnis}; Þórr sitr í reiðu.
‘I compose even more praise about the famous son of Sigrøðr [= Hákon jarl]; I paid him the honour of the gods’ reconciliation [POEM]; Þórr <god> sits in his chariot. ’
The helmingr is introduced in Skm (SnE) to exemplify an ókend setning (heiti) for ‘poetry’ (here, hróðr).
